14 This looks good, and I see I already have it installed.

16 Alas, it does no work at all. The proceed button does nothing. Hm, when
17 starting it again, it suddenly works. But whatever audio file I select,
18 its file type is unknown to soundKonverter. The settings dialog shows no
19 backends at all. Well, maybe an older version than 1.0.0_alpha1 works, I
20 will give this a try.
